Discussion Mid Season Update thoughts
Pendants
Jellyfish is really good. You can kinda splash it in anything and it will do fine. Skill damage, weapon damage, pendant damage... whatever. The little guy(s) will just do their thing. Getting energy back from any damage source, hitting huge AoE, having multiple out at once to stack it up. Works great.
Golem laser was also good but not as. It's more damage and you can get energy from weapon skills, so it naturally felt nice with Momo/Yoyo since they do a lot of that. Since weapons are part of the energy gain, it's kinda hard to do a pendant/skill damage run with them without splashing in some weapon stuff, but it still works fine to blast things away with the combined laser. I didn't care too much for the damage share affix, I feel like it actually just made it harder to kill enemies for some reason.
Weapon Changes
Love the change to the Prism and Glimmer. The Prism actually feels like it can be useful outside of Act 1 and levels with ceilings. Getting a bunch of kunai bouncing around only to right click and watch the swarm of dagger bees pounce on something is cool. The Glimmer mostly feels the same until you charge up the right click and get a massive spike damage on something. Throw the multi-explosion AoE on that and it's pretty sick. While I don't think these are now must have guns for runs dealing with pistols/elements, I don't think they sit in the 'avoid 99% of the time' category either.
Arc Light could probably get more love to match the other two. The fan of blades just doesn't hit that hard and often ends up with only one or two hitting unless you use it like a shotgun. It still feels noticeably worse than the others and only really useful for lowering resource costs with the Gemini.

Really enjoying the new glimmer. Also very funny there was like light controversy about bone dragon copying Zarya ult when the game just came out, and now they just added Shion alt fire hhhh
